Author Dies Without Doing "It" Once

The fictional author of the
bestselling book "101 COOL THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE",
died tragically before completing the 101st activity on his
inspirational list.

Author Roger Norman was killed on his
way to attend a 24 hour movie marathon in Beaver Creek,
Colorado. The bestselling (Amazon's Non-Fiction Quirky)
author was attempting to complete the penultimate activity
(Driving 24 hours Non-Stop) when his car hit a moose,
killing both of them instantly (*).

The Annual 24 Hour V
Movie Marathon
[http://www.incrediblystrange.co.nz/marathon/intro/] returns
for its ninth year and organiser Ant Timpson offers some
helpful advice for adventurous New Zealanders, "Kiwis
fearing they may die or get bored before completing all '101
COOL THINGS' are encouraged to start at the 101st cool
thing (Movie Marathon) and work their way backwards to
number one (Naked Skydiving)".

Dr Royce Carruthers from
Miskatonic University supports the reversal of priorities,
"My research shows that attending a 24 hour movie marathon
at the beginning will make every other activity on the list
appear easier and "cooler" as the young generation would
say."

The 24 Hour 'V' Movie Marathon offers adventurous
audiences a mix of Blockbuster Premieres alongside some
diabolical exploitation films from the vault. Audience
members who fall asleep are helpfully zapped with cattle
prods to keep them alert.

The 24 Hour Movie Marathon is
presented with V [http://www.bebo.com/republicofv] energy

Zealand.
